2. Interaction between the microcirculatory network and the systemic arterial pressure

Jose Vilar, Antony W. Kedra, Jean-Jacques Mourad, Jean-Sébastien Silvestre, Bernard I. Lévy
Pages: 108 - 113
The large arterial system and the microcirculatory network are generally studied as separated entities. We aimed to establish a link between the remodelling of microcirculatory and arterial blood pressure. Experimental: Pre-hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rats SHRs were maintained under hypoxic...

3. Interrelationships between macro and microvascular structure and function

Damiano Rizzoni, Maria Lorenza Muiesan, Enzo Porteri, Carolina De Ciuceis, Gianluca E.M. Boari, Massimo Salvetti, Anna Paini, Enrico Agabiti Rosei
Pages: 114 - 117
Macrovasculature and microvasculature are interrelated, and may influence each other. Microvascular structure is not only the site of vascular resistance but probably also the origin of most of the wave reflections generating increased central systolic blood pressure. Some index of large artery stiffness...

4. Arterial waveform and central blood pressure: The complex links between large and small arteries

Luc M. Van Bortel, Sebastian J. Vermeersch, Patrick Segers
Pages: 118 - 121
Arterial wave reflections (AWR) are determined by arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), the distribution and distance of the reflection points (RP) from the heart and the magnitude of these reflections. Pulse waves are reflected at sites of changing impedance. Substantial changes in impedance occur at...

Jitka Seidlerová
Pages: 134 - 137
Adducin is a cytoskleton protein, which functions within the cells as a heterodimer composed of a combination of three subunits, α, β and γ. Each of these subunits is coded by genes (ADD1, ADD2, ADD3) mapping to different chromosomes. Mutation in ADD1 Gly460Trp polymorphism is associated with increased...
